  #CMZ :  1.00/01 28/11/95  18.51.23  by  Francesco Cafagna
  #-- Author :    Francesco Cafagna   28/11/95
+November 2006, Bari F. Cafagna
+ BUG FIXED
+    For some reason there was a conflict using FLUKA and the GARFILD
+    interface for the TRD. The file TRD_ATT.TXT was treated as flukaerr
+    file by the compiler. It is not clear why. The code was correct,
+    the logical units and names were not inconflict, but the compiler
+    assigned to them the same internal number. It may be a problem
+    related to the optimization phase. I did close the file just after
+    the read-out in GPDAT.F and commented out the closing in UGLAST.F
+ November 2006, Bari
+ S4 GEOMETRY UPDATED:
+ The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong.
+ A container of aluminum has been added having walls of thickness equal
+ to 0.1 cm.
+ TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED:
+ S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate.
+ Before now, the positions were put by hand based on the positions given by
+ Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA
+ sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and
+ S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were
+ lightly approximated because the thicknesses of the mylar and of the glue were
+ not considered in that document. Also the height of S3 has been modified as
+ suggested from the Naples PAMELA collaborators.
+ ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED.
+ The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill
+ the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the
+ details of these materials.
+ TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED.
+ The top plate geometry has been simulated as a rectangular window filled
+ with a mixture of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). It has been
+ put in a N2 box having the same planar dimensions of CATA. In this box there
+ are also S2 and CATA at the right positions. Then the top plate geometry has
+ been completed with other eight small volumes of titanium positioned at the
+ corners of the N2 box. Four of them are at the same height of CATA, the
+ other four are at the same height of S2. The simulated geometry of the top
+ plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD drawings.
+ October 2006, Bari
+ The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some
+ volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
+ put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also
+ defined.
+ September 2006, Bari
+ SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card,
+ missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE
+ data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card:
+ NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with
+ a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.
+ June 2006, Bari
+ The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc)
+ and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the
+ nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical
+ parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi,
+ E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
+ of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
+ that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
+ document it has been neglected.
+ May 2006, Bari & Tor Vergata
+ GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED
+    Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten
+    have been added.  The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma
+    enter the calorimeter absorber.  This is the steering routine to
+    simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance.  It
+    does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other
+    selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the
+    gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle
+    number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons.
+ May 2006, Bari & Florence
+ CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED
+    The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit
+    structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK
+    ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed
+    so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum
+    number of hit.
+    In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored.
+ April 2006, Bari
+ TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED
+    The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been
+    added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M,
+    S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and
+    S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put
+    in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and
+    aluminum have been added at their nominal positions.  According to
+    Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air
+    gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the
+    polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been
+    defined as a mixture.  The positions of the three bottom
+    scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and
+    S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official
+    positions in PAMELA.
+ Mar 2006, Bari
+ GEN DATA CARD UPDATED
+    To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane,
+    GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is
+    the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z
+    position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER +
+    ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3).
+ Nov 2005, Bari
+ GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED
+    To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The
+    inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR.
+ NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR
+    This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag
+    is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to
+    'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly.
+ NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND
+    The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the
+    geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been
+    updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and
+    literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed.
+ GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES
+    GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface
+    to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of
+    the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron
+    simulation. for details see:
+    http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html
+    This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is
+    not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into
+    gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree.
+    Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of
+    the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did
+    extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I
+    did store the include files into a newly created directory:
+    gpcalordes.
+    The Makefile has been updated accordingly.
+    Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F
+    NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In
+    particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library
+    libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are
+    present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged.
+    NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz
+    and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved
+    to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will
+    look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are
+    searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool
+    proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with
+    synchronization fo these files.
+ The GCALOR package
+ June 2005, Bari
+ TOF SCINTILLATOR PADDLES UPDATED
+    The dimensions and the number of the scintillator paddles for each
+    TOF planes have been updated.
  May 2005, Bari
